Highly recommend The Phoenix!

We booked The Phoenix to cater our wedding and we were completely blown away by their professionalism, food, and service! We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID, and they were very understanding and accommodating with the change. Lilly was amazing to work with! She took the stress out of our COVID changes and helped us every step of the way. She also went above and beyond by running out to buy us more ice when we ran out early due to a miscalculation on our part. Our guests raved about the food (italian pasta buffet), and the staff was so fun, they were dancing and having a good time during the wedding, adding to the positive experience. I cannot recommend The Phoenix highly enough!

Dream service and wedding!

We cannot say enough good things about the Phoenix! From the very beginning, they were communicative, responsible, and so welcoming. From allergies, to table settings, to bar tending and COVID delays, the Phoenix took care of every detail and gave us peace of mind throughout the whole process. We even had a change in event manager in the middle and they didn't miss a beat. Last but not least, the food was amazing and completely customizable to our liking! We highly recommend The Phoenix!

Perfect place for an event

Lily Klein made everything perfect at the Phoenix from the first time I sat down with her to plan a wedding rehearsal dinner. As the guest numbers changed due to covid requirements she was on it . If you are looking for a venue for an event in Cincinnati I can’t think of a better place to go to. Lily was there when we started the dinner and then handed it off to Jenna and her team. Everyone was professional and really seemed to be happy to be there. Kelly behind the bar was outstanding. She was personable and always willing to chat and you could tell she was smiling behind that mask.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I highly recommend the Phoenix and their staff. As a vendor who sees hundreds of events every year, I can honestly say you will not find a higher quality venue or experience. All of the staff from sales to the actual servers for your celebration will be top notch and give you outstanding customer service. I've been providing DJ Entertainment, Photo Booths, Lighting and more for over 39 years, and many of our most memorable events were at the Phoenix. I would have no problem giving them Five Stars!
